What happened
Intuit (INTU) stock rose 6.4% to about $330 on Thursday after agreeing to buy Sequence, an AI billing startup, adding revenue tools for QuickBooks and its Enterprise Suite. Sequence, founded in 2021, automates pricing, billing and collecting payments for software and service firms. Intuit did not share the price. The shares are still about 52% below their 52-week high of $683.39.
Why it matters
Intuit, the maker of QuickBooks, is trying to win larger businesses that have outgrown simple bookkeeping software. Sequence helps those firms bill customers who pay by usage or milestones instead of a flat fee. Intuit's product chief says these features are a key factor when companies pick business management software (ERP). The stock is still far below its high, so the jump is a partial recovery.
